Also just so you know, I installed the xforce catback whilst having tomei UEL headers and it sounds amazing.

Valve shut the car has a fairly deep and subtle rumble. It's not THAT quiet, definitely louder than stock but when you open the valve it's super loud, super rumbly, does a loud backfire pop when you let off the gas and definitely gets everyones attention when you drive off in it. Sounds really cool but i'm glad I went valved as i'd feel way too obnoxious driving around with valve open all the time.

And I went with the 2.5 option, can't even imagine how loud the 3inch would be.


If you're getting just the catback and no headers, not sure how different it will be. I've seen a video of someone with that setup, 2.5 inch without varex and they said they were underwhelmed with the in-car exhaust sound as they didn't think it was that loud, but they liked the outside driveby sound.

I'm super happy with my setup though- but I don't reckon the varex is worth it unless you have or plan to get UEL headers
